PACCAR breaks new ground as part of expansion

The first stage of the planned works anticipated as part of an ambitious expansion for commercial vehicle manufacturer, PACCAR, has recently taken place at a groundbreaking ceremony at its Bayswater site in southeast Melbourne.

A 1,500 metre factory extension that includes a new onsite warehouse and incorporates improved layouts and upgraded facilities will be part of a planned three year expansion program.

Completion of the project in 2021 is set to coincide with PACCAR’s 50th year of manufacturing in Australia.

The facility currently produces up to 15 Kenworth prime movers a day. In 2018 it also commenced assembling DAF trucks locally.
